Now in its 20th year, the festival is joining forces with the website Funny or Die in a talent search for diverse, unique and authentic voices in the comedy world.

Earlier this year, they put a call out for submissions of short web videos, the top 5 have been chosen, and the winner will be revealed at a live comedy show called "Make 'em LAFF," on Saturday, June 14 at the Grammy Museum.
